Firstly, can I just please say how grateful I am for all the love and support you’ve all shown me? I’m going to staple myself to my desk chair tomorrow morning, my first official semi-normal morning I’ll have seen in over a week (more on that in a minute) to write you all to thank you, personally. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. (That is, if the kidlets give me some uninterrupted time to write you all. If not, look for it tomorrow night. Heh.)
If yesterday could’ve been anymore surreal, anymore nerve-wracking, I might be sitting here completely gray-haired today at age 33. The situation was already unreal enough with my scary CT scan as it was, but to come home and turn right around, not even being able to process my morning fully without venturing off to continue on our quest for a replacement car for my husband. To peruse, to search, haggle, nail-bite some more, only to finally find him his not-new-but-new-to-us car to take home (a 2007 Nissan Versa S for practically nothing with only 50k in miles on it), ending my miserable life of a mother-playing-part-time-chauffeur, I am grateful yesterday is over and that today is a new day. It is a new day, right?
I think? Damn time change.
Until I know what yesterday’s scans bring, I’m going to be nervous, and anxious, and probably a wreck. But I’m going to be all those things WITHOUT HAVING TO CART MY HUSBAND AROUND ANYMORE, THANK GOODNESS! {ahem} What I mean to say, is, I get my days back. Mornings filled with poopie diapers, crunched cereal into the floor, and coffee-slurping a-plenty. Not like that was really any different, but it was condensed, having to drive him to work and pick him up later, my time wasn’t my time anymore, especially since any free time I then had was usually devoted to finding the ‘perfect car’ for us him, seeing it, looking it up, pricing it, haggling the guy over the phone for it.
Oh dear sweet baby Jesus layin’ in the manger, I do NOT want to car shop for a while. Can you promise I don’t car shop for a while? Pretty please, with a cherry and fudge ‘n stuff on top? Mmkay?
(And dear, loveable, husband-type person, if you lose your title and forget to re-register your car, causing it to be impounded and cost us $200+ ever again while stationed away from ‘home’, I’m gonna have to club you over the head like you owe me money. Be forewarned, mister. No more Mrs. Nice Wife-lady on this one, pal.)
Aaaaanyway, on to this week’s to-do list, now that my A#1 to-do was crossed off from last week, WOO-FREAKIN’-HOO!
*Enjoy my days back to somewhat normal. No more chauffeuring. Wahoo! (Can I get a wahoo? Or at least, maybe, a woo?)√
*Re-plant the dug-up plants out front since the water leak was fixed.
*Finish detailing the minivan, complete with re-vacuuming. (The kids tried, I’ll give ’em that. But normally, vacuuming requires actually taking things out of the car, and actually vacuuming places other than the back carpets. *sigh*)√
*Grocery shopping/print coupons/list for this week√√√Staying on my diet every day* (I’m still doing it, complete with some awesome new veggie recipes. Will share some!)√√√√√√
Work out on 30 Day ShredALL WEEK* (Other than my freak falling-asleep-at-7pm incident last week, before I got the chance, I’ve been doing it everyday!)√√√√√√√
*Will weigh tomorrow for the Wednesday Weigh-in with the Shrinking Jeans ladies. I’m excited to see where I might be!
Today’s motivation – rest. It wasn’t until this whole, nightmarish car-thing ended that I realized just how cram-packed we’ve been lately, and how very little “me” time I’ve had. I fully intend to cash in on some of this extra time this week, and take some time to really kick back and rest. At least, perhaps I’ll fully rest after I hear some good results.. what do you think?
Last weeks goals:
My weekly goal- donations donated and closet cleaned out – uh, ha. Yeah right. My free time was car shopping. The end. Perhaps this week, now that hubby has a car that he can drive to the donate-place all by himself?
My daily goal- work out, in some form, every day – Yes, yes and YES!
(I lied.) This time is THE last time as my goals 🙂

Would you like to join us this week for To-Do Tuesday? Start with just a few things. Don’t over-do it your first couple of times. You’ll grow to become a list-a-holic later, start small now, though, k?
Just so you know, you can join us at anytime, it doesn’t have to be on Tuesdays – the list will go up every Tuesday for you to link to, but you can make your list and link to us at any point in the week!
Remember, with “To-Do Tuesday“, we’re attacking our to-do lists each week, blogging about our lists and what we’ve got going on, and sharing it with each other to help keep each other accountable. Everyone should come back here to link up in the MckLinky as the central “To-Do Tuesday Hub” so we can visit who’s participating and offer encouragement to each other throughout the week. Don’t forget to add the “To-Do Tuesday” button to your post, linking back to this post!
Let’s continue to cross items off our list as we go and help support each other in completing our lists! Don’t forget my useful HTML tutorial on how to effectively “cross-out” or √ “check off” your items on your to-do list!
